Chapter 195: A Pretty Good Choice

After the players took the three unconscious mages to the beach.Fang Ka called over the two standby messenger merfolks.

He glanced at the two merfolks, then pointed at the ground: "Take this mage’s body to the sacrificial altar, as usual, and use the alchemy potion there for preservation and deodorization."

After the players set up the sacrificial altar, Fang Ka took some free time to post a construction task for creating two levels of underground space beneath the altar.

It was Lord Xu who organized and arranged for this construction project.

Currently, the two underground levels of the sacrificial altar store alchemy experiment materials and potions on the first floor, while the second underground floor is for storing corpses.

The bodies originally kept in the underground prison next to the ancient castle were gradually moved to the second underground floor of the sacrificial altar by the merfolks.

When Fang Ka goes to the sacrificial altar for alchemy experiments, he places a Dark Eye Sub-Magic Array Carrier at the castle gate, and then activates the Dark Eye Main Magic Array Carrier.

This way, if players come to submit materials, they can place them at the castle gate, and Fang Ka, seeing this through the screen, can immediately reward the players.

The two messenger merfolks are responsible for transporting the materials left by the players into the ancient castle.

On Kain Island, when players come to the castle to find Fang Ka, it’s mostly to submit material tasks, rarely for anything else.

This arrangement allows Fang Ka to conduct his alchemy experiments without delaying the players from submitting materials.

As for other business players might have, there are generally no pressing issues on Kain Island; they either wait or handle it when Fang Ka returns to the castle.

Once Fang Ka had issued his instructions, the two messengers quickly carried the merfolk mage’s body toward the sacrificial altar.

Including the five mage corpses brought back from the island where the Sea Elves and the Gana Race had battled.

Fang Ka now had six mage corpses in his possession.

He could use them when the next wave of new players joined.

Moreover, three mages had been taken to the beach to undergo a memory reading by Xia Lin.

After everything at the beach was arranged, Fang Ka would decide the fate of those three.

Whether to add them to his retinue or offer them as spare bodies for players depended on themselves.

As Fang Ka watched the two merfolk depart, he activated the Dark Eye Main Magic Array Carrier, then checked the scene on the island where the Sea Elves and the Gana Race had clashed.

However, nothing unusual was happening there at the moment.

Usually, when both sides sent people to compete for the island, there would be a deadline requirement.

Specifying a time limit by which contact with the rear must be made and someone sent to clear the scene.

It seemed that this contact time hadn’t been reached; otherwise, the rear would certainly have sent personnel to the island by now.

This was normal; after clearing the island of Sea Elves and the Gana Race, the players hurried back to the underground city.

After lending money to a few players including Mr. Zhou to upgrade, they set out again in haste, only briefly stopping at Kain Island, with the entire round trip taking less than a day.

Fang Ka was planning to see how the Sea Elves and the Gana Race would react to the situation on the island and what actions and arrangements they would make next.

If there was an opportunity, he could indeed send the players to harvest another wave, fostering their rapid growth.

He wasn’t in a hurry; he deactivated the activation state of the Dark Eye Main Magic Array Carrier and headed toward the beach.

Upon reaching the beach, Fang Ka scanned the area and found the three unconscious merfolk mages were lying on a reef by the sea.

The players were nowhere to be seen.

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Mr. Zhou likely went to discuss the Magic Domain with Lord Xu and others.

As for Iron Black Pot and the others, it was highly probable they were exploiting other players on Kain Island.

When Fang Ka instructed them to bring the three unconscious merfolk mages to the beach, he told them the exploration task would require some waiting.

These players were masters of time management and certainly wouldn’t waste their time idly by the beach; they’d definitely seek out meaningful activities when they had time.

Upon seeing Fang Ka, Xia Lin immediately waved: "Fang Ka Mentor!"

Fang Ka walked over, and Xia Lin continued: "Mage Fang Ka, these three Red Merfolk Mages were sent over by your subordinates, and they’re in a coma. I thought it must have been arranged by you, and I’ve already probed their memories."

Though she couldn’t understand the players’ words, Xia Lin had spent enough time with Fang Ka to understand his behavioral habits quite well.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka smiled, "Well, very good, tell me about their memories."

Xia Lin nodded eagerly, then began to carefully detail the memories of the three merfolks to Fang Ka.

"Frankie... a Light Element Top-tier Mage..." After hearing Xia Lin’s report, Fang Ka had a thoughtful expression on his face.

He hadn’t expected the merfolk to be under the protection of a top-tier mage, and the way of protection was... hard to judge.

"It seems, to continue exploring and expanding westward, Frankie needs to be dealt with first."

Fang Ka began to fall into contemplation.

He then remembered Aiman.

Aiman was an exceptionally gifted mage, with a progress speed that was simply astounding.

Given the current situation, his advancement to a top-tier mage was likely just a matter of months.

By then, it would be possible for Aiman to take on Frankie, but to be more cautious, it would be best to wait until some players advanced to top-tier knight level.

As undead creatures, players have a simple method to quickly enhance their power.

That is, by killing normal knights and drawing the Knight Origin from them to quickly elevate themselves.

To rapidly find a large number of normal knights, the battlefield between the Sea Elves and the Gana Race is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

After pondering for a while, he thought perhaps he could try something with Wangzai Little Buns.

Wangzai Little Buns was incredibly fast, rivaling the Nightmare Beast in speed.

As long as she didn’t fall into an all-encompassing ambush like the War Tree Man’s, she was difficult to catch.

Most importantly, the Sea Elves and the Gana Race were blood feuds and eternal enemies; sending undead creatures to intervene and cause chaos meant the likelihood of them allying together was practically zero.
